"I need to discuss it with my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Xu Nianhua was very moved, believing that his eldest brother’s future would surely be boundlessly bright. As shareholders of the Chili Sauce Factory, if Xu Nianji could truly secure the sales channel, it would undoubtedly be excellent.
In the future, there will also be opportunities for my brother to further his education. Once the Chili Sauce Factory becomes a larger enterprise, there will be even more he can do.
"Of course, I’m just discussing the preliminary ideas with you," Pei Yicheng’s voice was very pleasant, steady and trustworthy, "Don’t worry about learning to drive, Ling Dong is here, and besides, Ling Dong will also teach your brother. He’s smart and will pick it up quickly."
"Let me thank you on behalf of my brother for considering him so thoughtfully," Xu Nianhua said sincerely. Pei Yicheng had helped them a lot.
"If it weren’t for your massage technique, my leg wouldn’t have healed. I should be the one thanking you," Pei Yicheng said, his hand resting on his leg. Before his injury, many people flocked to him trying to ingratiate themselves.
But since the injury, Pei Yicheng felt that he had seen the true colors of people’s feelings. Other than his grandfather and Cheng Hao, his relatives, only the Xu Family never showed any disdain towards his injured leg.
He still vividly remembered the words Xu Nianhua said on the day Xu Nianji got married.
"His leg can’t stand because of an accident, but that doesn’t negate his excellence. He’s still in the herbal medicine business, a thousand and ten thousand times more outstanding than those who spend their days gossiping."
"In fact, those who mock him for not being able to stand are the truly disabled, morally and psychologically."
He can clearly recall Xu Nianhua’s expression that day, forcefully defending him. Her frame was petite, but at that moment, in his heart, she seemed so towering.
She was beautiful that day, not just on the outside, but her soul too was radiant, dazzlingly so.
"You should thank Dr. Hu," Xu Nianhua hastily interjected. She simply stumbled upon a massage technique; it was Dr. Hu’s medical skills that were the key.
Pei Yicheng lifted his lips in a slight smile and said nothing more.
"By the way, why hasn’t Yining returned yet?"
Xu Nianhua felt somewhat awkward sitting there. After finishing the serious conversation, she didn’t know what else to say. That’s when she remembered Pei Yining, who had gone to get some fruit. She and Pei Yicheng had been talking for a while now; why hadn’t Yining come back yet?
Pei Yicheng saw Xu Nianhua home. The moonlight was as clear as day, mingled with the sounds of passersby and Pei Yicheng’s occasional reminders to watch the path.
A breeze wafted through, and Xu Nianhua appreciated the atmosphere. She glanced at him and said, "Yicheng, I noticed a lot of university textbooks in your house. Are you self-studying?"
Xu Nianhua remembered that Pei Yining had mentioned that Pei Yicheng had taken leave from school due to his leg injury.
"Yes," Pei Yicheng replied. "I’ve self-studied all the sophomore courses already. When the school term starts, I just need to take a test, and then I can go straight into my junior year."
Xu Nianhua looked at him in astonishment and gave him a thumbs up. Despite his leg injury, he had managed to self-study and finish all of his second-year courses. It wasn’t about whether he could learn the material; the sheer perseverance alone set him apart from ordinary people.
Seeing the admiration in her eyes, Pei Yicheng’s gaze softened even more, and he said, "I’m also a student at Beining University."
